Yes, My Darling Daughter - Paperback

by Margaret Leroy (Author)

Every once in a blue moon, a masterful writer dives into gothic waters and emerges with a novel that--like Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, Minette Walters's The Breaker, and Donna Tartt's The Little Friend--simultaneously celebrates and transcends the tradition. Welcome Margaret Leroy to the clan.

What's the matter with Sylvie?

Such a pretty girl. Four years old; well loved by her young mother, Grace. But there's something . . . off about the child. Her deathly fear of water; night terrors; most of all, her fixation with a photo of an Irish seaside town called Coldharbour.

Sylvie, tell me about your picture. Why's it so special, sweetheart? My heart is racing, but I try to make my voice quite calm.

That's my seaside, Grace. Very matter-of-fact, as though this should be obvious. I lived there, Grace. Before.

Haunted and haunting, Yes, My Darling Daughter is a wonderfully original, deliciously suspenseful mystery, a haunting book and a tantalizing read (The Providence Journal).
